7 months

My chunky monkey! This girl is getting big! She is crawling (almost on her knees) ALL OVER! I can't go anywhere for a second without this girl not staying where I left her ..... Time for some baby proofing!!!!!

She also Has started pulling herself up on the couch to a standing position.

She LOVES to feed herself... It is definitely her preferred way of eating now (even over nursing sometimes). Hopefully we can make it to my goal of a year without her losing interest!

She loves peek-aboo, brushing her teeth with daddy (which she does almost every morning) and blowing raspberries!

She is so fun, and so happy!! Love you Sawyer!!!!

Anniversary

Another post about our anniversary?!?! What!!!?!?!? But I wanted to write about our date. It started with Jordan bringing me a bouquet of flowers- a mix of love and Hawaii..... Absolutely perfect! Then we went to dinner at Nicks. It's in the cute downtown area just down our street. We walked up and down del mar while we waited for our table... What! No reservation for your anniversary!? Well nicks was our second choice... We went to Hapa J's first- a cool Hawaiian restaurant -But soon found out that on Monday's they serve their lunch menu all day... So no fancy dinner there :(
But that was alright cause nicks was amazing! We got pork sliders and asparagus fries to start... Then I got the steak and Jordan got the fish and chips.
One of my favorite parts was the hot hot towels they brought to you after your meal... It was like a spa!
Then our waitress brought us a yummy hot fudge sundae on the house for our anniversary! So good!
Then we came home and had chocolate covered strawberries (I know... More sweets)
It was a lovely date to celebrate 3 wonderful years!

3 years

Today is our 3 year anniversary!!!! It feels like we've been together WAY longer than that.... I mean we already have a 7 month old (1 more week).... It feels like I've known Jordan my whole life. He is everything I could ever ask for in a husband and father. He still gives me butterflies and there is no one I would rather spend my time with.

I am so grateful for the beautiful wedding we had. We were so lucky to have all our family and our friends travel so far to Hawaii to share our special day with us. I love that I know I get to be with Jordan for all eternity; forever and ever through our temple marriage. The kona temple was so beautiful and peaceful.... I can't wait to go back so we can re-live our wedding all over again :) such a special day.

And now 3 years later we live in a place that's as close to Hawaii as you can get without leaving the mainland. We have the most beautiful daughter. And still have goo-goo eyes for each other. I love you Jordan!!! Thanks for the best 3 years of my life. Here's to many more!!!

Jinxed!

I am never talking about Sawyers sleep behavior again!!! The second I do she turns into a sleeping nightmare!!!! I say one positive thing... And I get jinxed! Granted this week she had a really bad fever, so she gets a free pass this time.... But every other time I say that she has been sleeping good she likes to make a liar out of me!!! And of course she does good before every doctor appointment, so when the doctor asks I say she's sleeping through the night.... Then she starts waking up every hour or two... And it's too late to ask the doctor for advice.... What happened to my good sleeper?!?!?!?

6 months

Post comes late... Sorry but sawyer turned 6 months!!! I can't believe she's half a year old!!! She had a great doctors appointment. Such a tropper! Barely even cried from her shots. She weighs 17.12 is 26 inches. That's 50th% for height 75th% for weight. She has been sleeping through her middle of the night feeding. We start bedtime routine at 6 and she is down 6:30/7. And will wake up for a little in the late evening, but falls back asleep, then once in the early early morning but falls back asleep. Then I feed her around 5/6. Doctor says she does t need to eat and she doesn't even seem that hungry when she gets her breakfast!

She is sitting up sooooo good! The doctor said he was very impressed. She rolls over everywhere and is crawling backwards and army crawling.

We play a game where we put a blanket over our face and she will grab it and take it off. Jordan was doing it just out of her reach and she crawled/ rolled over to him and took it off!! Such a smart girl!

She can even stand in the corner of her crib for a little bit all by herself ( after I stand her there of course).

She is totally figuring out mama. ( at least her mmmma sounds but I'll take it) she is learning that I come running when she's says it so she's been getting better at it ( uh oh!).

She loves solids - mainly avocado. And she loves feeding herself with her mesh feeder. We also gave her a sippy cup but it seems to be more of a chew toy.

She takes 3 naps a day, 2 short ones, one long one but only if I nap with her... Bad habit I know, but mama needs her rest too!!!

We're introducing sign language... Jordan is much better at remembering to do it than i am so.... We will see how that goes.

She loves being outside and we've had a lot of fun taking her to the beach recently.

However today she was super needy and just wanted cuddles all day.... Let's hope that was just today cause I got nothing done!!!

We love this girl more than anything! She is such a happy girl! And such a blessing in our lives :)

Easter pictures!

My cute Easter baby!!!!

Cereal

Sawyer is loving her cereal!!!! She loves feeling like a big girl sitting at the table with us and trying to hold the spoon herself... She's so funny when she goes to eat, she opens her mouth like she's attacking the spoon.... Yummy!
